Queen Mary II 1-400 Plastic Ship Model Kit by Revell Germany

This model is great to build. I have a big interest in Ships and I loved building every step and watch the great ship come together! The easy to follow instructions made it all the better and it's great to see what the ship looks like! When its finished it looks great as it magestically sits on my shelf and never fails to impress visitors! It came in good condition with no faults! Its a very good size and looks like a professional model! (Just so you know, you have to buy you're own paints and glue)

31" RC HT-2879 Destroyer War Ship

 

 

 

 

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box. The detail is quite good, the ship handles well. Only issue is the instructions are in broken English, but understandable. Great fun.

Revell 1:96 USS Constitution

I bought this ship for myself, as it's going to be winter soon, and I needed something to do inside to keep busy. I had tried this exact ship many years ago and had two cats at the time who kept stealing my parts. So maybe this time I can complete it. I have just begun and it is time consuming and very intricate work so it makes for a great long term project. I'm sure it will turn out beautiful. Some of the tags on this item are incorrect: It is not a "Disneyland Ship", nor is it a "Pirate Ship". It is an Historical Ship that still exists, retired of course.

Military Battleship 1/360 RC 28" Warship R/C Cruiser HT-3827

I was a little nervous to buy this toy online, but went ahead and bought it for my little brother for Christmas. He absolutely loved it! In fact all the guys in my family did. He loves that it looks similar to the real Bismark and the speed at which it glides across the water. It was also a very educational toy because once he got it he was curious to learn about the real Bismark, and we looked up a National Geographic show about it. The toy says for age 14 and above and my little brother is 11, yet he adores it. He did need a little help to get it up and running though.

Minicraft Models Deluxe RMS Titanic 1/350 Scale

This model is one that I've had my eye on building for a while, and after seeing a great deal on Amazon.com, I decided to buy the kit. The photo-etched railings look like they'll add a great amount of detail to the model, and I can't wait to assemble it!

Recommendations for Modelers: I would recommend purchasing more photo-etched parts from a dealer such as Toms Modelworks [...] or Gold Medal Models [...] for even greater detail to your model. I have not even added them to the model yet, but once you see them, you know they can't look bad. As always, patience is a virtue, so do your research on how to correctly apply the parts and paint the kit. I am also planning on drilling out the portholes and installing lights on the inside of the ship; they require 3/64 and 1/16 drill bits, if I recall correctly.

As stated before, do your research! There are plenty of places online to help you build the model of your dreams, such as the Titanic Research and Modeling Association [...] and Model Warships [...] to name a few. Don't be afraid to join their forums and ask for advice...these modelers know what they're doing!

Titanic 14" Model Cruiseship - Already Built Not a Kit - Wooden Ship Model Cruise Ship Replica Scale Model Boat Nautical Home Beach Wall Décor or Gift

I purchased this model for my son who has a great fascination for the Titanic. I wouldn't call it a toy. It's more of something to display than to play with. Having said that, my son LOVED it!!! He knows just about everything there is to know about the Titanic so he "played" with it as he ran through the scenarios of how the Titanic went down. He proudly displays it on his shelf and loves how realistic it is. It was worth every penny!

Tamiya 1/350 Japanese Battleship Yamato

Tamiya is a company well known for their hobby supplies and model kits. Back in 2007 or 2008, I purchased this kit from a local hobby store. It was an enjoyable build as a novice model builder. The instructions come in two booklets- japanese and english, although you could read either to assemble the kit. There were zero fit issues with this kit. Painting it (at the time) was difficult due to using spray cans, but should be no problem even with the use of spray cans. Easy to assemble; no corners cut. The detail is surprising, but if you have the expertise, buy a photo-etch set to really enhance the model. I made mine an RC ship, and it took quite a bit of custom work. Even as a static model, the Yamato is impressive- and fat! (proportionate and in scale). I recommend this kit if you are up to it- I purchased it for $80 years ago. If it is cheaper now- it is actually a good deal. The "toy" is durable because it survived a very rugged 800 mile move with a bad moving company. I plan on purchasing the sister ship, the Musashi, also in 1/350 scale. It should have a slightly different configuration than the Yamato.

Dragon Models 1/400 Space Shuttle "Discovery" With Boeing 747 Transporter

NASA's Boeing 747 SCA (Shuttle Carrier Aircraft) Transport with North American Space Shuttel Discovery mounted on top. Model can be displayed "on the gound" with its landing gear down as shown in the pictures or "in flight" on a stand which is provided. Landing gear can be removed and replaced with 'closed' landing gear doors. FOR ANYONE NOT FAMILIAR WITH HOW TO INTERPRET A MODEL'S SCALE, THE MODEL IS 7 INCHES LONG WITH AN 5 3/4 INCH WINGSPAN. THESE ARE EQUIVALENT TO DIVIDING THE LENGTH AND WINGSPAN OF THE REAL AIRCRAFT IN INCHES BY 400.

Lindberg 1/60 Scale Shrimp Boat

Great model kit of a hard-to-find subject matter. This shrimp boat model has good detail, and with little work makes a great display. I've built this plastic kit three times, including once as R/C. Nicely detailed deck gear, winch, and other deck accessories, as well as 4 crewmen. If you are a fan of "Forrest Gump", this model can easily be modified with moderate skill into a "Jenny". Only "cons" on this model are the slightly thick glass on the deckhouse, and the fragile mast and yard tips, which may also warp if you put too much rigging tension on them. Highly recommend this model for a fun build.

Tamiya 1/350 U.S. Battleship Missouri BB-63

This is a very detailed model at a good price. Found the same model in a local hobby shop for almost twice as much. The parts all fit well together and there were no problems with warped or damaged pieces. Instruction manual was also well written and easy to follow. It is slightly more challenging to complete with some very small parts but that adds to the detail. I also used the recommended Tamiya paint and it came out great. NOTE-Be very careful with the machine gun enplacement parts, they are very small and can break if taken out without care. I broke one the first time taking it out but luckily you have a few extra in the kit. Shipping was fast and the seller sent tracking info quickly.

LEGO Star Wars Super Star Destroyer 10221

I purchased the Super Star Destroyer because I can't resist Lego's high-end sets, especially ones that will be expensive/hard to find once they are discontinued. In brief, this is a beautiful set that features impressive build techniques.

- It's not for play but as long as you aren't hurling it around, it stays together well. The designers did sacrifice a small amount of rigidity to achieve a clean finish (the outer shell will bend to the touch in places).
- Building process is painless. Some portions are repetitive, but with a model this size even the repetitive parts can be very rewarding as the model comes together.
- The visible underside is highly detailed.

The Star Destroyer is good for kids who have the patience to assemble and the space display it. And for grownups from the "work hard, play hard" school who love Legos, this is a set that belongs in your collection.

Fisher-Price Imaginext Serpent Pirate Ship

My 6 yr old son has loved pirates and pirate ships since he was very small. He has gotten at least one ship for either his B-day or X-mas, or both the past few years, and has 5 or 6 in his fleet now. This is the coolest, and more importantly IMHO, the sturdiest of the bunch. I would definately recommend this ship for your little buccaneer.

Matchbox Mega Rig Shark Adventure

My six year old loves this ship! It comes apart to reassemble into dozens of new combinations, which both challenges his dexterity and sparks his imagination - he's a pretty sharp boat designer now. As with all the Mega Rig products, it's fairly durable (we've only had one small breakage in one of the other Mega Rig toys - and we have probably a hundred pieces). And it comes with a hungry shark! Who could ask for more?
